.IN is the country code TLD for India; however, India has made its name space available to any interested registrants, regardless of residency.

As well as .IN, the following third level domains are also available:

• .CO.IN
• .FIRM.IN
• .ORG.IN
• .IND.IN
• .NET.IN
• .GEN.IN

Registration term: 1-10 years

DNS requirements: 2-13, maximum of 6 at time of registration

Whois Privacy: Not available

Domain Locking: Available

Grace Period: 40 days

Redemption Period: 30 days

Authcode required for transfers: Yes

.IN domains can be renewed prior to their expiry date for one to ten years.

We hold a .IN domain for 40 days after the expiry date. On the 40th day it is deleted from our system and enters into the Redemption Grace Period with the registry.

The Redemption Grace Period lasts for 30 days after which the registry deletes the domain and makes it available to the general public.

Note: Domain names cannot be transferred within the first 60 days after they are created or within 60 days of a previous transfer.

To transfer a domain name to iTristan Media Group

1. In the Order Management section, enter the domain name in the Transfer a domain field, and then click Transfer . 
The Transfers for <domainname>.in page appears.
2. Complete the Transfer Form.
3. Once the Transfer Form is complete, click Submit.

When the transfer request is submitted, an email is sent to the Admin Email Contact, and they have five days to approve or reject the request. When approving the transfer, they are required to enter their Transfer Authorization Code. The Transfer Authorization Code or 'Authcode' can be obtained from the current registrar for the domain.

If the transfer request is not approved or rejected by the losing registrar within the five day period, the registry automatically approves the transfer request.

When the transfer process is complete, the expiration date is extended one year from the original expiration date, and a charge is applied that is equal to the cost of a one year registration.

The change of ownership process for .IN domains is the same as for gTLDs.
